 * What can I say about Dave? He was invaluable to the [[CaliforniaTeam|California Loco]] during the states largest expo. Burning CDs, Making sleeves, updating information and handouts. I wish we had more people like Dave in the community and I conciser myself lucky that we have him in the Loco. He started Ubuntu Hours in his area and is always ready and willing to help, spread Ubuntu to the masses and is very kind in doing so. Dave is the type of person that not only works toward the ideal of Ubuntu but, he also lives it. I would be honored to have his as a fellow Ubuntu Member. -- [[LaunchpadHome:david.wonderly]] <<DateTime(2011-03-17T10:52:41-0800)>>

About Me

I am an Ubuntu only user of five years. I have installed Ubuntu on 50+ computers. Ive recently converted a mac user! My strengths are artwork and design and have contributed wallpapers to the various Ubuntu release competitions. I am a big fan of open source software and privacy issues. I enjoy hiking and camping, traveling, blogging, photography, genealogy, recording music, cooking, and restoring my 1916 craftsman bungalow.

Contributions

- My Ubuntu website at http://www.iheartubuntu.com/ My main goal is to help introduce Ubuntu to new users making the switch (or those considering Ubuntu) and to offer easy access to other Ubuntu info about applications, how-to's, and getting hardware to work properly.

- Updated California Team documents so they were ready for the upcoming SCaLE 9x linux expo.

- Burned 100 Ubuntu CDs for SCaLE9x (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and burned more 64 bit on the fly as people requested them. Printed 400 Ubuntu CD covers.

- Attended SCaLE9x in Los Angeles 2011. Went to UbuCon on Friday and met up with everyone with the Ubuntu CA Team. Spent the other two days working non-stop all day fielding questions about Ubuntu, folding Ubuntu CD covers, and burning discs on the fly. I brought two computers with me: one to burn discs, the other was a netbook showcasing Unity. Overall, the Ubuntu booth was a huge success as we handed out approx 650 Ubuntu CDs (400 official, 250 burned)

- Active in the Ubuntu California IRC room #ubuntu-us-ca and if theres a question I can help answer I will offer my input.

- created first Ubuntu Hour in Pasadena,CA. In the process of creating one in Claremont, CA and Lakewood, CA as well.

- I enjoy troubleshooting and fixing bugs. I had spent several hours helping Canonical members fix some key bugs before the 10.04 release. My first real taste of bug work and I liked it!

- Successfully converted a small company to Ubuntu linux. The only challenge I encountered was finding a good accounting program. Still unable to find an adequate one. Company does not want to go online with accounting info. For now, the accountant uses Windows XP in VirtualBox to run Quick Books Pro. Everything works great! Future plans would be to upgrade the old custom made MS Access program into Ruby and possibly integrate it so customers could log into a website and check order status. Also using Ubuntu for the music player and Ubuntu for monitoring security cameras.

Future Plans

- Finish my UCP Course and be certified

- Help in the Ubuntu forums as time permits

- Create more Ubuntu Hours in Southern California

- Speak at LUGs (several inquiries at SCaLE9x for me to speak)

- Attend UDS in Budapest Wink ;)

Testimonials

  • Hardworking, dedicated, and talented, Dave is the kind of being that is a value to whatever team he is on. Ubuntu California, and any team for that matter, is lucky to have him. He is good people. seidos 3/17/2011

  • I have witnessed Dave at the Southern California Linux Expo put his heart and soul into letting people who attended just how great the Ubuntu community really is. Because of his efforts, our booth was able to pass out the hundred cd's that he personally burned and use the 400 cd sleeves he printed out just for the convention. Now I know how much time it takes to burn that many cd's and that is one thing that truly reflects his commitment to this operating system. I see his vision for what he does with Ubuntu and I see him with untold potential for helping Ubuntu to become what it can be. - Philip Ballew https://wiki.ubuntu.com/philipballew
